LS EP 11: Get a Grip on Your Business and Your Legacy with Lyn Askin

The Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) is a set of simple concepts and practical tools used by more than 190,000+ companies around the world to clarify, simplify, and achieve their vision. In this episode, we are joined by one of the top EOS implementers Lyn Askin as he shares his personal story about how EOS dramatically transformed his business – and his life – for the better. 

At the heart of EOS are timeless concepts for building a healthy business that can run without you. Most entrepreneurs fall into the extremely common habits of constantly working hands-on in their business 24/7, repeatedly facing the same problems that come up again and again, and running an organization in which every team member seems to be rowing in different directions. It’s inefficient, time-wasting, and unsustainable.

EOS is the proven framework that creates order from all that chaos. During this discussion, Askin shares the simple and actionable steps for implementing the EOS framework in your business: from defining your company’s core values, creating clarity in your team member’s roles, highly-intentional goal setting, and getting to the root of problems to create solutions that work right the first time. 

As we explore the real-world benefits of implementing EOS, this discussion brings to light a host of hard-hitting lessons that every mortgage professional should take to heart. Valuable lessons such as: The importance of zoning out and taking a bird’s eye view of your mortgage business to make sure it’s moving in the right direction, clarifying goals and creating systems that guarantee your team members know exactly what they need to do to hit certain growth milestones, and “working in a 90-day world” rather than getting bogged down by the clutter and chaos of day-to-day tasks. These fundamental lessons go hand-in-hand with the EOS framework to unlock the true growth potential of your mortgage business.
